I Can Smell My Husband’s Dental Implants

Posted on December 25, 2021 by writeradmin.

I don’t know what is going on with my husband’s dental implants, but the smell is making me sick. It’s so bad I’ve been having him sleep on the couch. He had the implants placed and right now has the temporary acrylic dentures. After a time of what the dentist calls osseointegration, he gets the […]

Should I Go to Clear Choice for Dental Implants?

Posted on November 8, 2021 by writeradmin.

I need to replace quite a few teeth because I let my oral health visits lapse. I went to see Clear Choice Dental Implants and they are talking about extracting all my teeth and using something called an all-on-4 procedure. I thought some of my teeth were still good, but maybe I was wrong and […]

Am I a Candidate for Bone Grafting?

Posted on October 15, 2021 by writeradmin.

I had a dental bridge when I was a teenager. Now I am in my forties. I can see a little bone loss (I think) where the bridge is. I would like to get a dental implant instead and am assuming I would need some bone grafting. Is there a way to know if you […]

Dental Implant Disaster

Posted on August 7, 2021 by writeradmin.

I paid nearly $40k for a full-mouth reconstruction. All my teeth were crowned and quite a few had dental implants as well. Almost half the crowns have fallen off and I have nothing but stubbed teeth or implant fixtures in my mouth and eating is one of the most painful things I do. Can you […]

Buying Dental Implant Parts Online

Posted on July 8, 2021 by writeradmin.

I have full upper snap-on dentures. Mine have four posts. I am in need of new male locator caps. My dentist charges me $25.00 per cap. That’s one piece not one set. That is a lot of money and I just don’t have enough to keep doing that. My business shut down during COVID. I’ve […]

Maryland Bridge as a Temorary Restoration

Posted on June 3, 2021 by writeradmin.

My daughter will be getting a dental implant when her jaw is fully developed for a congenitally missing tooth. To give her a temporary tooth, our dentist made a Maryland Bridge for her. Unfortunately, it keeps falling off. Our dentist tried two different types of cement, but nothing is working. We did use the tooth […]

Are All-On-4 Dental Implants a Good Option?

Posted on May 5, 2021 by writeradmin.

I have a friend from the middle-east who needs to get her teeth replaced desperately. Her dentist is telling her the only thing to do is all-on-4, but I’ve heard that this is not the best option. Is this safe for her? She’s absolutely miserable. Callie Dear Callie, I am going to suggest you tell […]

Can I Get Dental Implants to Replace Baby Teeth?

Posted on April 23, 2021 by writeradmin.

My canine baby teeth are still in my mouth. For one of them, I can see an adult tooth behind it. I don’t see another tooth for the other one though. Can I take out the baby teeth and get dental implants? My smile embarrasses me and I am going to be a senior soon. […]

Dentist Placed an Implant Knowing it Would Fail

Posted on February 27, 2021 by writeradmin.

I need some advice. Prior to my dental implant surgery, my dentist told me I was a good candidate. However, when my surgery was completed he told me that when he went in to place the implant he noticed there wasn’t enough bone structure. Yet, for some reason, he placed the implant anyway. Now he’s […]
